N o trip to Alaska is complete without bear watching. Some bears have been spotted from cruise ship tours and even in the town of Ketchikan, but it is unlikely that you will see these sly creatures unless you travel on one of our wildlife tours.

According to Alaska wildlife biologists, bear watching shore excursions in Ketchikan are your best opportunity. In fact, the highest Black Bear population is found on Prince of Wales Island ("POW" for short). POW is the third largest island territory within the United States, close behind Hawaii and Kodiak Islands, and is only a twenty-minute flight from Ketchikan via floatplane. This island's Black Bear population is the highest in North America and it shows!  Just a short air tour west of Ketchikan, and we'll be in bear viewing heaven.  This wonderful island will serve as our remote destination for these fine guided bear tours.  We will be flying to a quiet watershed where bears are fishing for spawning salmon.  These spawning salmon serve as a summer staple for all Alaskan mammals.
